I DID NOT MENTION THAT, THOUGH I TOLD HIM OTHER THINGS.

HE IS CONVINCED THAT MY THEORY OF TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WESTEROS IS FALSE, YET I CAN THINK OF NO OTHER WAY TO EXPLAIN THE MANY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN JON SNOW'S MEMORIES AND MINE. AND I KNOW HIM TO BE A MAN OF HIS WORD.

[Yikes. She'll just file that information away for later.]

I agree with you. He's in denial. It's easier to believe everyone is a liar than face the truth.

[bruxisms]

[ it's really for the best, Claire. though he may very well say more to him. ]

AND YET, HE BELIEVED THE BASTARD TO BE A MAN OF HIS WORD, DESPITE ALL NOTIONS TO THE CONTRARY.

[ not that he's not doing this right now... ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Ramsay preyed on a weakness he saw.

[bruxisms]

AND ALL PAID THE PRICE. IT IS A COMMON THEME WITH THEON, WHO SEEMS INTENT ON NOT LEARNING FROM AND OF HIS PAST ERRORS.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I can only hope this finally brought the lesson home.

[bruxisms]

WOULD THAT I HAD YOUR FAITH, MY LADY.

BE THAT AS IT MAY, OTHERS HAVE LEARNED MUCH FROM THIS.

[ at the very least, Stannis had. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

He's not going to have many options left but to learn.

What did you learn, Stannis?

[bruxisms]

YOU BELIEVE I WAS SPEAKING OF MYSELF?

[ he was certainly speaking of himself. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

I was hoping you were.

[bruxisms]

YOU ARE CORRECT.

I KNEW IT WAS FOLLY, AND YET I EXPOSED MYSELF TO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE,

[ a hard truth to admit. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

The next time you feel like having a meet up with a madman, please take someone with you. Several someones, preferably.

[bruxisms]

WE HAD NOT BEEN CERTAIN IT WAS HIM. WE NEEDED PROOF.

BUT YOU ARE RIGHT TO REPROACH ME. I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO BOTH JON SNOW AND JUSTICE WHEN THEY OFFERED THEIR AID. IT WAS FOLLY.


[ and, did a part think he deserved it, after finding out what the other "Stannis Baratheon" had done? perhaps. but he would never admit that to himself, or to Claire. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Good. You've earned your lemon tea.

[At least Stannis admits his mistakes.]

[bruxisms]

YOU HAVE MY THANKS. ARE YOU CERTAIN THAT IS ALL YOU WISH FOR?

[ perhaps one of his few redeeming qualities. ]

[nineteenfortyfive]

I'd ask you not to give Theon a hard time, but I know how he is.

[bruxisms]

IF HE ADMITTED HIS FAILINGS, HE I WOULD HAVE NO REASON TO REPROACH HIM.

[nineteenfortyfive]

That's not going to happen.
